About

Mike Fiske is a leading researcher at the intersection of space exploration and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on developing in-space and planetary construction technologies. His most notable contribution is his leadership role in NASA’s Centennial Challenge for 3D Printed Habitats, where he helped drive the development of autonomous construction systems capable of building habitats using local planetary materials. This work directly supports NASA’s long-term goals for sustainable human presence on the Moon and Mars. Fiske’s key research areas include additive construction, regolith-based materials, and prize-based innovation models. While his most-cited paper—detailing the Phase 3 final results of the 3D Printed Habitat Challenge—has garnered modest citation counts, its impact is better measured by the tangible technologies and industry partnerships it has catalyzed. Fiske’s work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between terrestrial 3D printing and the extreme demands of off-world construction, earning him recognition as a pioneer in space architecture and in-situ resource utilization.
